Eleven Score and Twelve Years Ago, Our Forefathers.....


Okay, a challenge for the history buffs (well, that leaves me out).

It's getting close to election time (in case you hadn't noticed), and you can't really get through a day without hearing about it. Maybe you have already chosen your perfect candidate (or your he-or-she-will-be-better-than-the-other-choices candidate). Or maybe not. So here is your chance to make your choice easier.

If you could bring back one great leader or thinker (political or otherwise) from the past to run for President (or maybe it's someone present-day who just isn't running), who would it be?
Don't feel like you have to dissect or research it to death. I am completely happy with your gut feeling or quick thought on this. And you really don't have to be a history expert at all. Who? And, if you want to add why, go right ahead.

As always, this challenge is open to kids, parents, grandparents and anyone else who wants to join in!

I would bring back George Washington because as history tells it (though history is not always 100% accurate) he was a good, honest man with wonderful morals and a very wise, kind nature. I think he would be just what this country needs to revive our moral-less nation.

John F. Kennedy

Young, charismatic and a healthy vision for America (very similar to Obama in many respects).
